Attributes and Elements

The following table lists the attributes, child elements, and parent elements.

Attributes

Attribute

Description

Type

Usage

AllowFreeForm

False to restrict input so that only items on the menu are submitted; otherwise, true. The default is false.

Boolean

Optional

Alt

String or reference to a localized label to display as alternative text.

String

Optional

AltArrow

A path or web resource reference to an alternative image for the arrow icon for combo box or drop-down controls.

String

Optional

AutoComplete

False to turn AutoComplete suggestions off. The default is true (on).

Boolean

Optional

AutoCompleteDelay

The delay in milliseconds before AutoComplete fills the text box with a best-guess match. The default is 100.

Integer

Optional

CacheMenuVersions

Indicates whether the definition for the control should be cached for better performance. Select this value if you do not select PopulateDynamically.

Default value = "false".

Boolean

Optional

String

Optional

CommandMenuClose

String

Optional

String

Optional

CommandPreview

String

Optional

CommandPreviewRevert

Specifies the ID of the ribbon command to run when the control loses focus after preview.

String

Optional

Id

Specifies a unique identifier for the definition of a ribbon element. The strongly recommended naming convention is to use a period to separate the parts of the name like so: [solution identifier].[entity].[ribbon].[function].[element name]. For example: MyISV.account.form.SendToOtherSystem.Button.

Use the {!EntityLogicalName} token in the Id attribute when you define a ribbon element that will be used for multiple entities. This inserts the entity logical name into the Id value to make sure that the Id value is globally unique.

For example, if you use MyISV.{!EntityLogicalName}.form.SendToOtherSystem.Button with the account entity, the Id will be MyISV.account.form.SendToOtherSystem.Button. For the contact entity, the Id will be MyISV.contact.form.SendToOtherSystem.Button.

Important

If you don’t set a globally unique Id value, the ribbon might not display.

String

Required

ImeEnabled

Specifies whether the active state of an Input Method Editor (IME) is enabled. An IME lets you enter and edit Chinese, Japanese, and Korean characters. IMEs can be in an active or inactive state.
